5.0 out of 5 stars
Underrated first full length album by an amazing band.,
By "flesheater" (the meat freezer) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beside This Brief Hexagonal (Audio CD)
Most people who know about Roadside Monument know about the two albums that came out after this one: "Eight Hours Away From Being a Man," and "I Am the Day of Current Taste." Both of those albums are truly amazing recordings, but I must say that I was dissapointed to see that no one had reviewed "Beside This Brief Hexagonal." This album was released in 1996 after the band's debut 7"ep, "My Life is Green." Both the 7" and this full length are wonderful records that showcase the creativity and ingenuity Roadside Monument are known for to the select few who have heard of them. If you like the other two albums, I would highly recommend checking this one out as well. Every song creates a beautiful, emotive, sometimes schizophrenic musical expanse.

Math rock.,
By philster (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beside This Brief Hexagonal (Audio CD)
I'm not a huge math rock fan... it's always been kind of boring to me. But this album is different. There are actually some hooks there, and the musicians are obviously very skilled. The lyrics have some sense about them, as opposed to being random words assembled together. "A Girl Named Actually" and "Boasting In Weakness" are great songs, and there are other parts of the album I enjoy immensely as well. The main thing holding this back is a lack of focus in song writing, and the fact that the instrumental parts meander into senselessness far too often. These may be important aspects of this genre, but as a rock fan I don't see how this can be a good thing at all. There's lots of talent here, it's just invested in the wrong places.
